  1. Thanks gentlemen and the fact that I had a Cat 1 for hearing upon entry for service is something I did not consider in my arguement A couple of questions though... sub0 temp service? Is there a coorleation between sub 0 temps and hearing loss or tinnitus. In the past 17 years I have attended several dozen field exercises below 0 in operational temps, as well as while on base patrols for 5 years can be pointed in the direction of data that would be a huge plus. In my phase 1 of medical tests for my release due to not being able to meet universality of soldering I scored a level 3 hearing in my right ear along with tinnitus in both. I was instructed to carry those documents to the Medical staff for phase 2 of my testing. I photographed those documents as a good MPwould Veterans Affiars are to reveive those documents in direct question regarding the part 2 medical recording a level 2 which is a hearing gain. I have also undergone a year ago a civilian audiologist exam at a local hospital which shows level 3 hearing and bilateral tinnitus. Would it be benificial to try and locate acoustic trama evidence in the way of studies involving military equipment, sirens, M16, light and heavy machine gun, jet engine thresholds Is this something this site would readily have? I already have supportive studies of Military Police and hearing loss tinnitus around the world as well as NYPD issues with officers being released from duty for hearing loss as a result of traffic, horns, sirens, radio headsets, squelch, K9 barking life fire ranges. I jsut need to button this up as tight as possible. My unit Captain always came to me for charge report writing and research because I was pretty much the only person who knew where to research the information. Now I'm the one stumped.
  2. I've scored an 82 on the rating test for how bilaterial tinnitus effects my daily and pre sleep hours (when I can get to sleep) Awaiting my medical release date (9 months ago I was to have been cut from the herd) for a shoulder injury my unit refused to admit existed between 2007 and 2010 when it was partially corrected. During that time I was systematically harassed face to face by senior officials, belittled in from t of my troops and threatened with charges for not carying out duties at my current rank. when it takes the left hand to raise the right hand so as to salute senior ranking officials to receive medals .... As an MP who between 1995 and current date has been in direct line of sirens, radio squelch, firing ranges, exercises and life fire, i also worked p/t as a deputy Security Officer for Hel Sqn exposed to jet engine noise while on shift. I have hearing loss in my right ear and bi laterial tinnitus I'm assuming 24/7 since I cannot confirm what I hear during the 2 to 3 hours of sleep I am able to get a night. My problem is not the 10% max for one or both ears. My problem is how do I state the training and service background to support the veterans claim. Live fire, radios, sirens, pyro explosions during training etc. I always thought the ringing was a normal thing until I couldnt hear various frequencies externally to the buzzing ringing high pitch noise I hear during my waking hours. Both the hearing loss and bi laterial tinnitus are documentated for well over 2 years to exist both in Military medical records as well as Civilian Audiology testing. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated from those who have walked this road and these miles before. Of the Troops for the Troops
